PS3 (9-11)- 8 Students demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion
8a predicting and/or graphing
the path of an object in different reference planes and
explain how and why (forces) it occurs.
National Standards:
Context of Lesson:
Designed to be an introductory lesson for Kinematics for a first year physics student at the grade 12 level. The goals of the lesson are for a student to be able to do the following:
Predict "x vs. t", "v vs. t", "a vs. t" for various scenarios
Compare Kinematic equations to graphs of various motion
Differentiate between Kinematic terminology
Qualitatively understand the relationships between graphs
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge
Prerequisite Knowledge
The students will require life experiences and/or any previous schema.
Have kids go home and measure five (5) objects with meter-string and bring list to class.
Plans for Differentiating Instruction
Accommodations and modifications

Materials
Meter-string
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
Predict "x vs. t", "v vs. t", "a vs. t" for various scenarios
Compare Kinematic equations to graphs of various motion
Differentiate between Kinematic terminology

Instruction:
Opening:
"Block description opener"
Engagement:
Introduce "meter" by means of meter stick.
Make chart of their different values
Classroom floor plan worksheet/activity. (Grid paper map)
Q&A:
How far did i go?
Where did i start?
Where did i end up?
What was the change in my position from where i started to where i started (introduce delta with physics=lazy argument)
Explain delta(x)/Cannot divide by delta.
Closure:
Complete homework assignment that replicates the "Displacement Activity" through the use of a story.
